Hotel Library Amsterdam appeals to travelers for its central location near Amsterdam Centraal, friendly staff, and generally clean rooms, though many note compact spaces, steep stairs, limited elevator access, and the lack of air conditioning, especially in warmer months.
Many guests praise the breakfast and the complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby. Rooms are compact and vary by layout, with some basement or attic options and occasional noise from the street or corridors. Expect a straightforward, centrally located stay in a historic building.

Hotel Library is really lovely, great vibe as soon as you come in and staff were really friendly! Luggage storage felt totally secure which was great as we needed to make use both on the day we arrived and the day we left! We had a basement room which was brighter and airier than expected given the addition of the window. The room was spacious, clean and modern in design with a fabulous bathroom with a powerful shower! Conveniently located about 10-15 min walk from the main train station and walking distance to everything in Amsterdam this is an awesome hotel especially if like us you only have a short amount of time in the city!

Great value hotel, basement room for one was small but had plenty of useful features (fridge, electric kettle, tea, Bluetooth speaker) and a very comfortable bed. Very clean as well and quiet at night. My only gripe with the room was that the window had a crack and I didn’t dare to open it and therefore it was a bit warm. But that is probably going to be fixed someday in the near future. Breakfast was included in the price and had everything I needed. Amsterdam Centraal is only a 5-10 minutes walk away, as well as many points of interest in the centrum. I stayed here for the Dutch GP which is perfectly accessible from this hotel via public transport in about 60 minutes door to door.

Great location and accommodating staff. A bit unclear what the setup with breakfast is and this was not explained, and lots of good local places to eat. There were steep stairs inside and the lift was then out of action during my staff. (of course, a feature of many similar buildings and not the fault of the property)

The hotel met all of our needs. This is an urban location and the room with a queen, twin beds, and bathroom was perfect. The bathroom is well constructed but needs a heavier toilet seat and also, to be professionally cleaned after every guest. The fans are great especially on a rainy, moist day. Since there is no air conditioner, it's nice that the windows open; however, security may be an issue since it seems that nearby residents can climb on their roof tops and walk over and gain entry. The lift does not come to the third floors so this hotel may not be ideal for someone with mobility issues. Our room did not smell like smoke but smoking is going on in such proximity to the hotel that it's smoky on the first level.

Very centric place to stay, only a few steps from Central Station. The staff was amazing and very friendly, coffee and tea are included. The only downside is I had a lower-floor room and it was very noisy, plus I could smell people smoking just outside my window (could not close window as it was very tall and did not have access to it) Overall it is a good place to stay, just try to choose the upper floors if given the opportunity.

La stanza era descritta come "seminterrato con vista limitata", ma in realtà si trovava completamente sotto terra, con delle finestre molto alte che davano su un corridoio esterno. Invece di una stanza singola, mi è stata assegnata una stanza con due letti matrimoniali, che occupavano tutto lo spazio disponibile. Per accedere al bagno c'era un corridoio largo solo 30 cm. Il bagno, senza finestre, emanava un odore sgradevole di acqua stagnante e fogna.

My stay in this hotel was OK, but marred by constant traffic noise from the busy road outside, even with all the windows closed AND wearing earplugs. As a result, I experienced 4 really poor nights sleep. The room also had no air-conditioning and was uncomfortably hot. In addition, the lift was out of order for the entirety of my stay, and it was quite difficult to carry my bags up and down the very steep stairs The hotel was conveniently located, a 5-10 minute walk from the station, and with great views of the Conservatorium, public library and Nemo Science Museum. It was very clean, and staff were helpful and pleasant. But, unless you can sleep through absolutely anything, I wouldn't recommend it.

We had a great stay at Hotel Library in Amsterdam. They let us check in early, which was amazing after an overnight flight from Boston. The room was spotless, and the reception staff were super friendly. It’s also in a really central location, which made it easy to get around. Honestly can’t fault anything. Only small suggestion would be to have a glass in the bathroom for brushing teeth, otherwise, everything was perfect!

I was able to walk everywhere I wanted to go in 30 minutes or less. They offer a very nice breakfast in the morning. The amenities of the hotel are laughable. The elevator is "manual." You will need an explanation on how to call it and how to operate it. It's ridiculous. Even with the elevator, I had to haul my large suitcase up another staircase without help. (The afternoon/early evening desk clerk was the least helpful). The room was too small to be able to keep a suitcase open, and there was no place to unpack some belongings. There were no shower amenities other than a soap dispenser on the wall (my gym is more accommodating). There was also no shelf to put your own toiletries on. I was told housekeeping leaves at 3, so when I returned to my room and found the cups dirty and asked for clean ones, the answer was just, "No." You will need to shop outside the hotel for basic requirements like a bottle of water to have in your room. The bed was very uncomfortable. I got up with a stiff back every morning, and I noticed there was a 2 inch cheap foam mattress topper on the mattress. I hate to think what the mattress was like without it! I paid 200 euro /night for that stay. They required I pay in advance. I can see why. I would have left immediately on arrival if I could have. What a disaster.

Turned up having booked shortly before to be told it was impossible I made a booking for that night. When I showed the reservation, they then realised it was POSSIBLE! Maybe, they should have asked to see the reservation first before telling me I was wrong (when I clearly wasn't). Anyway, they were sold out... So, took my money, told me I was wrong (when I wasn't), failed to apologise at all (for the lack of room or for telling me I didn't make a reservation), couldn't provide a room, and I had to request a refund. Absolutely pathetic.

Seeking refund. I went to hotel very late at night with my girlfriend after booking online. Then we checked in, paid city tax to hotel, got the whole introduction and room key etc. and then the guy asked how many people. After all that… I said 2, he said you both can’t stay here due to X regulations. And then we did a 5 minute back and forth dance of talk where it seemed like he was still trying to give the key card and “turn a blind eye” or something. Shady and made her uncomfortable, unsafe, hence I decided for leave and travel several hours back to Rotterdam in the middle of the night to stay with friends there in lieu or paying $300-500 for a typical room in Amsterdam. Solution, clearly state MAXIMUM 1 PERSON PER ROOM IN THIS HOTEL.

Staff were all very friendly and helpful, room was a good size and reasonably clean. Great location near to the train station and within walking distance to a large part of the central city.

I was so disappointed with this stay. The person at the front was not friendly and hospitable. When we were having an issue with the vending machine which was in front of them they did not even say anything to assist. As soon as you walked into the hotel we noticed it was incredibly hot. There was no AC in any part of the hotel including the rooms. We were so incredibly hot. The only thing that was available were portable fans. Also the lighting in the hotel room was so unappealing that we kept the lights off the whole time. This was just such a disappointment.

The hotel is located in a traditional tall building overlooking a stretch of water. On the other side one could see various modern buildings. The area around the hotel is quite pleasant with a cycle track running in front of the hotel as well as a road. The "nieuwmarkt" area is within walking distance and here one can find many restaurants and cafes. The condition of the hotel is good but the stairs are steep which is to be expected in such an old building. Breakfast was available for an extra 17.5 EUR.

Great location and accommodating staff. A bit unclear what the setup with breakfast is and this was not explained, and lots of good local places to eat. There were steep stairs inside and the lift was then out of action during my staff. (of course, a feature of many similar buildings and not the fault of the property)

We took a restricted view room in the basement which was much better than expected. The room was a good size and had everything we needed including a fridge. The bed was king size plus and very comfortable. The buffet breakfasts was excellent.

My daughter and I took my 92 year old Mum to Amsterdam as a treat. She walks with a walker and when the staff realised this they moved us to a much larger room on the ground floor. We didn’t ask for this they just wanted to make our stay a bit easier. The breakfast was lovely. All fresh and constantly kept stocked by the breakfast staff. Excellent. I couldn’t recommend it more
